The Mona Lisa is a perfect example of Renaissance style. It shows a realistic portrait with a natural pose, a landscape background with atmospheric perspective, and the use of sfumato to create soft transitions.
Why it matters
Renaissance art changed how artists painted. It brought a new focus on the natural world and human experience. Many techniques invented then are still used today.
